I am the type of attorney who cares about and listens to his clients story. I do my best to make sure the client is heard by the Court and or otherside and that the best result is achieved for the client. I am the only one you will deal with as I answer my own phones and I not an associate will meet with you thorughout your case. I will tell you straight up any problems I see in your matter and help guide you through the legal process. I do my best to return each call the same day should I miss your call. I am just a regular guy who is here to try and help the other regular people.. I did not become a lawyer till I was 37 years old. I have worked in several fields prior to my legal career and due to this background, I feel I can relate to my clients better than would be possible otherwise. I have worked in construction (dug ditches), retail managment, Sales, and I as in the Army. I own and love classic cars and have obtained great results for clients who have had their classic cars damaged.

Firm: LOPAS LAW
450 South Melrose Drive , Vista , California 92081
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
As a criminal defense practitioner for the last 15 years, I have represented clients in all areas of criminal law, from the most complex cases involving homicide, sexual misconduct, and 3 strikes to common drug possession, driving under the influence, and traffic offenses. Prior to establishing LOPAS LAW, I spent a decade as a public defender, in California's Capitol city of Sacramento as well as El Dorado County, during which time I represented clients in high-stakes, high-profile litigation and defended thousands of adults and juveniles facing prosecution. In my career, I have successfully litigated 4th Amendment search and seizure violations, Miranda violations, Writs of Habeas Corpus, bail reductions, and Jury Trials in a multitude of misdemeanor and felony cases to verdict.. My representation of each client is focused solely on achieving the best outcome for that particular client. I work diligently and aggressively to achieve each clients unique and tailored goals. I have negotiated thousands of pre-trial litigation resolutions and have proven to be a zealous, compassionate, and effective advocate in Preliminary hearing, Court Trial, Jury Trial, and post-conviction litigation.. I have extensive experience representing juveniles accused of all manner of delinquency. As a juvenile law practitioner I have established myself as a tireless advocate for hundreds of youth accused of the most basic school misconduct to serious crimes such as rape and murder. During my time in El Dorado County, I was recognized for "changing the face of Juvenile Justice" through tireless advocacy, successful motion and trial practice, and reduction of the incarcerated youth population in the County by half. I enjoy trial practice, but understand that not every case or client is best served through court adjudication or verdicts. I work closely with my clients to reach efficient and positive resolutions and believe in the fragility and growth potential of every youth.
